Floating Across the Duck Pond

Yesterday my sister Tara came over and we decided to take the kids on a walk to the duck pond. When we got there we scouted out some hungry looking ducks, and walked across the bridge and down to the water's edge. Well, I got a call from Trevor, and Tara was talking on her phone to Wes, and next thing I know, Tara yells my name and starts laughing hysterically. I'm not sure if the kids bumped the wagon or what, but it rolled right into the pond. Tara just stood there laughing, and I hurried and took my socks and shoes off and ran into the water after it, but it just floated further away....and I was not about to submerge myself in that nasty water! Random people were stopping and taking picture of our little mishap. Luckily it eventually floated to the other side of the pond and I was able to wade out a little bit and grab it. Of course we didn't bring our camera, but luckily Tara had her camera phone! The quality isn't the greatest, but it makes me laugh just looking at these!

Here's the wagon floating across the pond. It floated under the bridge and across to the other side. I was kind of nervous because this lady there was saying that it would probably just stall in the middle of the pond and we'd need a kayak to go get it.

Here is Brooklyn on the other side of the pond watching the wagon. The kids were very distressed about this, they love that wagon!

Here I am in the filthy water! The kids were cheering, and kept saying "Mommy save the day!" so I guess it was all worth it!

I'm just happy that there weren't any kids in the wagon...and that the wagon floats! Sure made for an entertaining day!
